sg:what is wrong with Midinux recovery after having flashed the BIOS?Isn't it able to boot, or does it start and stay stuck at 99% as it occurred previously?

I don't think that the issue is caused by the new BIOS, because you wrote that Midinux was still booting after having flashed the BIOS.It may be related with the way the first partition of the Aigo has been formatted during the installation of XP. In that case there is one way to get out of the issue: launch again the XP installation, erase the existing partitions, and create new partitions as FAT32. Then stop the XP installation process, and retry the Midinux recovery.

This is a quick way to flash the Aigo Download Boot98c.EXE http://www.csupomona.edu/~pbsiegel/www/booting/boot98c.exeand the HPflash utilkity the 7MB file not the 45Mb file http://www.bootdisk.com/plan40/hpflash1.zipand you will need to extract the contents of the Boot98c.EXE file using Winimage http://europa.winimage.com/download/winima81.exeCopy the flash file to the C drive, once the image is extracted creat the boot usb disk restart change drives to C and locate flash utility, works great.

@SG go to JKK install of XP that he posted here at front of page. This will use PEbuilder to do the install. That won't give you the BSOD when trying to do it from CD. For some reason some have trouble loading XP from CD and others don't. I used the PEbuilder method back in August when I got my Aigo, and works great to load XP. At one point I had XP on C drive and XP Tablet on the D drive, but of course touch didn't work.

anyone else having keyboard issues, i cannot get the touch activated. Please someone who installed touch explain how to install, it is the PS2 selection when the driver starts, but from that point I have several HID devices in hardware profile. One is a serial one is a USB and another i cannot start with an error code 10. installing Bios was easy but the GPS and touch are a problem for me, someone post a quick how too and a video if possible after touch is working

gps driver has to be installed manually, when the prompt to install driver comes up, choose not to connect to the internet, then choose install from specific folder, gps, u center, antaris 4 usb drivers.. click ok...

All working now, gps Bluetooth touch, thanks everyone. Wish I could share the felling, youtube is so nice, no sound yet, have to locate the audio drivers that UMPCfever suggested a while ago, it works. :)

@Brook you can get the sound driver here http://support.kohjinsha.co.kr/driver/sdriver_l.php download the one below ACPI BIOS, thats the one for the audio. If you put your mouse you can see at bottom of the browser that it shows the audio driver. I installed that one on my Aigo and sound works perfect.

clean install after reflashing the bios, That is the trick. Like most I installed XP and flashed the bios. You need to flash the bios and install XP after. The Aigo works, touch and GPS bluetooth all I need is power management and a way to control the screen brightness.

I'm also having problems installing XP or Vista on my P8860 after the bios upgrade. The OS install currently installed on the flash works quite well, my assumption is there is a problem with storage drivers during the install.

Data:

Vista or VistaPE (Windows Home Server Recovery CD), booting from CD, hangs after the "press any key to..." that comes from the boot CD

My XP SP2 boot CD gives me a blue screen (7b). My guess is that some of us are having troubles with the storage drivers.

Note that before flashing the bios I had a working system where installing an OS went smoothly.

if you're able to get XP (or BartPE built on XP) to install could you tell me if you're using XP SP3 (the real one or a slipstream).

Has anyone gotten Vista to install?

does anyone know if there are keys that can be pressed to get into user settings for the bios? I've seen similar 0x7b issues on PC's when the disks are SATA and the installation CD doesnt have storage drivers

I managed to install WIndows XP , but i can't get the WIFI and Touchscreen to works. As i read here it seems that i need to update the BIOS of the AIGO. Can anyone point to the detail step by step procedure to update the BIOS?

JKK, I have an Aigo P8888W. Will the drivers work on it? What is the procedure for bios upgrade and xp install? Also I have tried using sysresccd to backup but it runs out of disk space and I don't know how to make it write to DVD instead. Sorry for these novis questions, I know nothing about midinux.

hi jkk i'm quite a novice in computing but i happened that i bought an aigo p8888w, i hought it was gonna be more or less intuitive to install xp on it but still IT IS OUT OF MY CAPACIIES and it's been a month trying....is it possible to have a detailed tuto to install XP or maybe a video! at least something step by stepthaks in advance
